Well folks, September 2012 is here and on the 4th, School claimed Amelia.  Yes she is 6 and big enough to go to school.  She is healthy and the doctors are good with her going as long as we take precautions.  Luckily, her teacher is very understanding and is helping keep things clean.

As of this writing, it has been almost a month and Amelia loves it!  She comes home every day excited about the new letters that she has learned and all of the fun stories.  She has been making friends and she just loves it!

Cameron is in 4th grade and learning that school gets more and more involved with each grade!  He has spelling words that even I get spell checked on, last week he had one of the same ones as Leatha!

Leatha is in 6th grade and in the advanced class.  But she is doing really well, her teacher asked her to be an assistant and help with putting papers in the files and passing things out.  She is also playing her trumpet again, I will put up the concert dates when we get them.

Tonight we are headed to Parent Conferences, I am sure they are all doing just great and getting ready for the rest of the year.  More to come as I know it!

This is our new family blog!  I have repurposed this site to be the chronicle of our family and our adventures after Amelia’s Make A Wish trip in June of 2012.

I debated for a long time whether to keep Amelia’s site up and active for people to follow what happens with her, but we all decided that it would be better to have a family blog, since everything involves all of us.

I will keep that site updated if anything comes from Make A Wish, but, unless Amelia goes back into the hospital, this site here, the one you are reading now, will have everything that we do on it.

Check it out, drop us a line, let me know what you think of the site.

Thanks for visiting us.

Justin, Brenda, Leatha, Cameron, Amelia and Tristan Matthews
